Four episodes will air on RAI 1 in the early months of next year. Elena and Lila , the two protagonists, now adults, will continue to tell the story of their friendship and all the events they will face.

Most of the filming for this new season took place in Caserta, in the former Saint Gobain industrial area of ​​Marcianise, where the Rione Luzzati of Gianturco and Florence were reconstructed down to the smallest detail .

Naples was also the backdrop to the third season of My Brilliant Friend and in fact some scenes were filmed in Piazza Dante and in Piazza del Gesù and Torre Annunziata, in the old Bourbon Arms Factory.
